Factors associated with reflux resolution in extravesical laparoscopic and robotic surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aims to assess the surgical outcomes of laparoscopic or robotic surgery for primary vesicoureteral reflux and elucidate the factors contributing to vesicoureteral reflux resolution.

Patients and methods

We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of consecutive patients who underwent extravesical laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation or robot-assisted laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation at our institution between March 2012 and July 2020. First, we reviewed surgical outcomes in the paediatric (n = 100) and adult (n = 15) patient groups. Second, we compared the surgical findings and outcomes of both procedures in the paediatric patient group and investigated the factors contributing to surgical success in the paediatric patient group.
